Lovely to see elements from you gorgeous garden. The wonderful week of sunshine has broken here over night and we have a day of rain ahead, I believe. I’ve spent a week in the garden ( now retired from 38 years teaching ) and accomplished many autumnal jobs, cutting back exuberant growth and moving one or two perennials. So much more to do. I’m balancing the gardening with wild swimming and running in the lanes .A small amount of painting done but there will be more time for that when the garden does not need me so much ! Perhaps see on wordpresss - www.runningintheslowlanelife.com. Or Instagram @slow_lane_art_and_garden

Thank you Ruth. Glad you enjoyed the piece. Crikey you're a fitness freak! Running and swimming as well as gardening - good for you! My knees wouldn't be up to the impact of running these days, although I do plenty of walking when playing golf. I've never been a good swimmer so I go to a class once a week where we do drills etc. It's a good way to get some aerobic exercise. The idea of wild swimming horrifies me - I like to see what's underneath me at all times - preferably tiles. What a wuss I am! I have yet to start my autumn work in the garden - bulbs are in a box in the garage waiting to go in. Had too much going on here with all the work inside the house. Never enough time for everything!
